The Alternative: Self-Hosting
Yes, you can run your own geocoder using open data. But it’s not simple or cheap. Here’s what’s involved:
| Task | Difficulty | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Download & preprocess OSM, OpenAddresses, Overture | ⚙️ Medium–High | Time + 100–200 GB storage |
| Set up Elasticsearch + Pelias stack | 🔧 High | 2–4 vCPUs / 16–32 GB RAM |
| Cloud hosting (VM, storage, bandwidth) | ☁️ Ongoing | $100–$200 / month |
| Frequent data updates + rebuilds | 🔄 Repetitive | Engineer hours |
OnCoord eliminates all of this — just sign up, get your API key, and start geocoding.
Transparent, Open, and Sustainable
OnCoord is built entirely on open data and open-source software. Our goal is to make geocoding accessible to individuals, developers, and organizations of any size. We believe open data should be easy to use. OnCoord helps developers focus on what matters: building smarter, location-aware applications.
